Configuring Port-Based Access Control (802.1X)

How RADIUS/802.1X Authentication Affects VLAN Operation

When the 802.1X client’s session on port A2 ends, the port discards the temporary untagged VLAN membership. At this time the static VLAN actually configured as untagged on the port again becomes available. Thus, when the RADIUS-authenticated 802.1X session on port A2 ends, VLAN 22 access on port A2 also ends, and the untagged VLAN 33 access on port A2 is restored.

After the 802.1X session on VLAN 22 ends, the active configuration again includes VLAN 33 on port A2.

N o t e s

Any port VLAN-ID changes you make on 802.1X-aware ports during an 802.1X-

 

authenticated session do not take effect until the session ends.

 

With GVRP enabled, a temporary, untagged static VLAN assignment created

 

on a port by 802.1X authentication is advertised as an existing VLAN. If this

 

temporary VLAN assignment causes the switch to disable a configured

 

(untagged) static VLAN assignment on the port, then the disabled VLAN

 

assignment is not advertised. When the 802.1X session ends, the switch:

 

Eliminates and ceases to advertise the temporary VLAN assignment.

 

Re-activates and resumes advertising the temporarily disabled VLAN

 

assignment.
